Bangladesh innings (target: 358 runs from 50 overs)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
Tamim Iqbal	b Kulasekara	28	59	40	4	0	70.00
12.4 how does a bowler exact revenge for being treated rudely by the batsman? Simple, take his wicket. Tamim comes down the track again and looks to loft it away. Kulasekara notices this and slips a faster one in. Tamim yorks himself and is bowled 48/3
Nazimuddin	c †Sangakkara b Vaas	1	10	5	0	0	20.00
2.3 first blood! Vaas set the batsman up by bowling a couple of incoming deliveries and then swirls it away from him. Nazimuddin falls for the trap and chases it and gets an outside edge back to Sangakkara. Good display of swing bowling by Vaas 5/1
Mohammad Ashraful*	c †Sangakkara b Fernando	8	30	21	1	0	38.09
9.3 on the leg stump, Ashraful looks to pull it away and gets a glove to it on the way to the keeper and has to trudge his way back to the pavilion. Ashraful is clearly unhappy, but is it with his shot selection or the umpire's decision? Only he can answer 35/2
Raqibul Hasan	st †Sangakkara b Muralitharan	35	79	57	2	0	61.40
27.4 Murali see's Raqibul coming down the track and slips in a faster one down the leg side as Sangakkara collects it and whips the bails off 126/4

Mahmudullah	b Jayasuriya	4	10	11	0	0	36.36
32.5 arm ball and a quicker one at that as he looks to come down the track and loft it but misses it and is castled 142/6
